Jahream Bula #269

I'm still waiting to see him break a tackle. Run straight and full pelt at gaps in the line. That's when he becomes a top shelf fullback.

Agree. His field coverage and effort areas aside from that are fine.

Yeah, but Moses has a dossier. (the filthy scum bag)

I'm no Moses fan, I despise the bloke but he didn't agitate for Galvin's release nor Da Silva's, that was all Galvin & his parents, who had no belief in Benji & TDS not prepared to sit behind Api, that's according to Richo.

The difference now is every player has bought in. Bula's demeanor has changed as well, he looks happy for once, he is revelling in what the Tigers as a team are doing which will go a long way when it comes to crunch time for his next contract.

Bula is miles ahead of Drinkwater in defence.

Missed Tackles:
Drinkwater: 16
Bula: 2

Tackle efficiency
Drinkwater: 72%
Bula: 93%

Bula wouldn't have been exposed to as many tackles as Drinkwater, Im not saying Drinky is defensively sound he isn't but neither is Bula. I can't really recall Bula stopping many tackles close to our line. Weekes try on Thursday was another example. I said i think he's positioning is better i don't think your stats tell the whole story.

Given PNG will join in 2028 do you think Bula will extend just for 1 year then leave for tax free $?

I don't see many clubs in the race for Bula or have the salary cap for him hence why I think PNG could be an option

If money is his motivation alarm bells should be ringing, those type of players rarely put in a 100%.

You want players that will take a little less to stay with their mates and fight for a premiership, is this Bula, guess we will find out next month.

dragons need to go for michael cheika
hornby would be an idiot to leave souths he will coach them when bennet retired you would think

That's still a long way away. But yea it would be an opening.

I think Hornby would be nuts to leave because I am seeing in Benji flickers of WB.
The whole "we need to perform to standards", did not come from Sheens. Infact Benji seemed to want to throw away the entire Sheens playbook.

It's clear Hornby is in a good position to learn a lot from Bennett. The Dragons would be wise to keep him there and have Young work on defense. But yes, WB has 3 years left and Hornby probably would get a stab at the head role.

Thinking about it. Benji has done a lot of time under Bennett.
Benji has played under Sheens, Potter, Taylor, Dragons (Paul-Mary McGregor), Rugby someone, Brisbane (Bennett).
